Two different resource offsets for one process node

Process Modeling
1

Hello everyone, I have a storage area in my model on which a crate is placed. An AGV brings the crate from the right and a worker removes parts from the crate from the left. I therefore need a resource offset on the right side for the AGV and a resource offset on the left for the worker. Does anyone know how I can implement this? Because basically I can only define one resource offset
Thank you for your help

In the newest version of the Process Node (in VC 4.9 and 4.10) there are already several frames defined, so it’s easier to set a different position for the resources.
Otherwise you can select the component and in Process Tab, click on “Create Frame” to create a new frame. Then in the process, you can choose the frame you want for the TransportIn, TransportOut and Work Statements with the property “ResourcePositionFrame”.

Is there a way to use different frames in single transport in command or a way to change the value of the frame every time a product comes in through transport in.
I am creating an assembly of a wall elements and the human resource need to go to different resource positions to assemble (to make it look real).
How can I do this??
Thanks

You can create new frames at the places wehere the human resource should go

You could change the ResourceOffset frame position :

  • with a GetProperty statement you can get the ResourceOffset property (which define the position of the frame)
  • with an Assign you can change its value, for example: “Pos(500,0,0).WPR(0,0,180)”

Hey. Thanks for the reply.
But, Since I am using the transportIn for assembly process and the products in this assembly process needs to be placed at different places. (see pic)

I have the human as the transport resource and he transports the assembly products from the Big red circle on the right to the small red circle on the left.
But I want the human to travel to different locations (Red arrows) for each product in the assembly.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Hi,
I’m not sure it would be possible with all products in the same step, but if you put them in different steps, then you can change your frame position in between. (Tip: you can copy paste steps to go quicker)
Here I used a while loop with the “CheckAssembly” statement to transport all steps until the assembly is complete. Otherwise you can also use a “counter” variable to repeat your loop as many time as you need.

Thanks.
But this method is not possible for me, as I have a lot of steps for every assembly type.
I am trying to figure this out by using python script.
If I succeed, I will post it here. So that it can be helpful for others as well.
